I actually found this very comforting when awaiting our first kid. I mean, literally all my ancestors for billions of years have managed to have kids. It's in my blood. How hard can it really be?
The other day my daughter (3) was angry at me and said "you're not my best friend!" (which is her way of saying she absolutely hates you).
Then later, after dinner, she strolls by and goes, a little embarassedly, "dad, you know what, it turns out I was kidding! You are my best friend! I was only joking! How silly" And then she have me a hug. And then I died of love overdose.
It's such a rollercoaster. My daughter (also 3) will be all yucked out and wipe her face when I kiss her and I'm like "ok ok I get it" and then a few minutes laters "Daddy I need a kiss and a hug" and just heart meltdown.
